Welcome to the New Hampshire Soap Box Derby’s Official Web Site! In our 68th year, the NHSBD is a youth racing event that is open to boys and girls between the ages of 8 through 17 that reside in the State of New Hampshire.
This is a unique program in that it encourages close parent-child activities while building and racing the car. The construction of the gravity race car reinforces the importance of setting and completing goals while developing traits such as self-confidence, perseverance and craftsmanship. The parent/child relationship is fostered as parents teach their children the proper use of tools. The youth is encouraged to do as much of the work as their level permits.
The 68th Annual New Hampshire Soap Box Derby was held Sunday, June 12, 2011, in Dover, NH. The prevailing champions this year were Brooke Clooney of Rochester, NH in the stock division; Jillian Nelson of Dover, NH in the super stock division; and Tasha Hatt of Westmoreland, NH in the masters division. In addition, Rally races are held throughout the spring, summer, and fall at various locations in the State of New Hampshire and as well as the United States. Rally races allow the racer to accumulate All-American Soap Box Derby Rally Points which potentially earns the driver the right to compete in the All-American’s World Rally Championship held during the same week in July. This year’s qualifiers included Amber (master’s) and Ryan Chasse(stock) of Freedom, NH; Meagan Barnes (master’s) of Hopkinton, MA and Teal Borden (super stock) of Keene, NH. Once again NH was well represented in Akron, OH. Tasha won her first heat making it into the second round. Teal placed 8th in the rally super stock division and Jillian placed 5th in the local stock division. |
